Hello It's Clay,
Shyla helped me post about my fishin trip to Canada. For the most part we practiced the art of catch-and-release whereby you:
  1. Torture the fish with a hook
  2. Haul it out of its natural environment
  3. Measure and document the experience
  4. Set it free to start the process all over again
Bruce assured me this was ok since God instructed us to "subdue his creatures". It rained for 6 of the 7 days oddly enough we didn't notice until the fishing wasn't so good in the sun so we wished it were raining again. We each grew some sad looking beards but were happy to look scruffy just the same.

If you know Bruce he is a hobby magician, he amazed our guide with a coin trick then pulled out perhaps his most impressive feat yet, check out this picture as he went for a stroll.

The trip was very successful we each caught fish larger than 30 inches long the largest of which was a 35 inches in length, for perspective the fish Bruce is holding above is about 21 inches. I did manage to get a few fingers cut up from a fish bite, apparently he wasn't following the subdued fish guideline. One finger was a nice black color afterward but it has since healed. I can't wait to do it all again.

Guest blogger needs to blog more often. Glad you had a wonderful trip. Where are the scruffy pictures?

If you click on my picture and look real close you will see about 3 hairs on my face ... one on the upper lip, one under my lips and one on my chin ... that is as scruffy as I get.

I'm glad you guys had so much fun. I'm just very sorry that you lost your razors in the river though.
